Okay so this review might seem a little outdated, but as someone who hasn’t seen any Mad Max movies I thought that ahead of seeing the newest film I should watch what most consider to be the best one. Now I normally hate action movies, I find most of them have no real plot and I am not as enthralled with the sight of explosions as most people seem to be. On top of that, action movies tend to portray women quite poorly and I will never overlook that. All that said, this film comes highly endorsed by my husband so we finally watched Mad Max Fury Road. So here we go….

Action movies are never crafted this well, which is why they are never really recognized at the awards shows. But Mad Max Fury Road was nominated for 10 Oscars and it won 6 of them. That is an incredible showing for an action film. The casting was incredible and the writing allowed the actors to really do some of their best work. I am now very excited for Furiosa and we can go ahead and add this to a very very short list of action films that I actually like. I was very emotionally invested in every character and there was so much character development conveyed in a very tight and action packed two hours. I give the overall film a 9/10 only because I don’t give movies a 10/10 unless I think they are perfect, and though the movie was incredible but not quite perfect.
